TIE MONUMENT.

Secretary Lochr read the cirru'ar ap-
poaiing to the people to contribute libe-
rally 10 a.d in the erection of the m0nu-
mcnt which, ly IA unauimeus vote
taken upon tie historic field OF Gcttys-
burg July "a last by the surgiyin ,
members Of the PHILADELPHIA brigade,
Cowan's First New York battery. and
Pickett division, it was determined to
erect, commemorative Of American he
ro,sm, upon the spot where General
AImistoad fell-near the "Dloody An
gle while leading the charge Of
pickett's division July 3, 1868. The
circul lar says:
The lcroism exhibited in making
that charge, and in repelling il, is un-
surpassed in the history Of wars since
time began. The loss Of 1890 in killed,
wounded, and missing OF the 800 Off
GERS and men who made that fatal
charge, and the propOrtlonAtely breat
loss III killed and disabled upon thepart
of the brigade and batteries which met
the brunt of that onslaught, bear cyi-
dcnce to the uneGualled valor OF the
citizcn-soldiers Of the United States.
1t is to pe1petuate the story Of thH
sublime courage Of American volunteer
soldiers that this monument is to be
erected to the honor Of the whole
American people, and, because the sur
vivors Of these three military orgAni
cations are personally unable to con
tribute the full amount required for the
erection of such "a monument, the com
mittce having the matter i'll charge are
compelled to rely upon the liberaiity of
their more favored fellow-citizens for
assistance.

To pICKETT's MEMORY.

Mr.. Loehr said that some steps ought
to be taken looking to the erection of a
monument in honor of the gallant
Pickett at Hollywood. He did not
think it would cost but a few hundred
dollars.
Major James E. Phillips heartily ap-
proved of what was said by Mr.. Loehr,
and hoped that at the regular meeting
of the association, which Is to be held
on the 18th of this month, steps will be
taken looking to the speedy erection Of
the monument.
There being no further business be-
fore the meeting 1t adjourned.

Besolutions kdopted on the Subjeet-fhe
Monument at Gettysburg-Letter
Indorsing II, &c.

A meeting of the survivors Of Pick
oit's Division resident in Richmond
WAS held at Sanger Hall last night. i
goodly number of "vets" were present.
Captain T.. p. Reeve was called to
the chair and Mr.. Charles T. Loehr was
made secretary. Captain Reeve upon
taking the chair stated that the meet
ing was an informal one, and that the
iirt thing that claimed its attention
was the following paragraph that APP
pcarcd IN last Sundays wing:
"1here seemed to be an idea among
Pickett's men that a monument to
American heroism on Cemetery Ridge
would be more % lludation OF north
orn than American valor particularly
as the act Of Pickett's men, / 800 strong,
charging an amy and capturing win
nng point in their face, was IN such =
monument considered only no more
brave than the act Of an whole army
behind brcnstworks, with hundreds OF
cannon assisting them, compelling the
Nirglnians to relinquish their prize.
The SENTIMENT BrPUDIiTED.
The following was offered AMI
adopted
Whereas the above paragraph ap-
pearcd in the Richmond IYhigof Sun
day, July 3lst, We, the members Of
Pickett's division residing in Rich
mond, feel that we cannot wait tie
assembling OF the division, which, being
so scattered. would require several
days and believing that we voice the
sediments Of the entire division
Rcsoircd, That We utterly repudiate
the sentiment Of said paragraph. God
forbid that we should desire an undue
share of the glory OF Gettysburg, or
any other battle ofthc war. at the expense
Of our brave comrades, who for four
years stood shoulder to shoulder with
ne, sharing the dangers and harlships
of the war; or even of our gallant enc
miCs. As Confederate soldiers We
tried to do our duty. Those who op-
poscd rs, and the world, have done fu.l
Justice to the manner in which we tried
to do our duty in the charge at Gettys
burg.
HcsOlrCd, That rs southern soldiers
we recognize III the circdlar Of the
Philadelphia brigade, setting forth
their purpose TO erect monument at
Gettysburg to American heroism, an
act Of patriotic magnanimity worthy OF
the cooperation and assistance OF oil
american soldiers. and will join them

gTard design.

GOOD METAL I'm FAIR.

For years past men have been
making assays of Jim Fair, and no.
body ever seemed to be able to find
anything there but horribly base
rock, periphery and the hardest kind
OF trachite. Nobody ever consid-
cred him as a milling proposition
until few days ago. The way he
walked up to his old partner win,
"John, let bygones go; I've five
million for you if you want it,"
shows that after all there was a rich
streak of pure metal in the man.
The feud between the two men has
been very bitter, and the friends of
both parties will be glad that the
Ratchet is buried.
No one can question that he is
financier and miner of the first
class, and his judgment and shrewd-
ness is of the best. The Coast has
been noted for the jealousies and
strife among monied men. In the
strife for wealth they have mangled
each others Threats like wolves. If
such good haters as Fair and Mac
kay can cool their Irish blood and
make up, it would seem an easy
matter for the balance of the money
kings to follow the good example so
gracefully set before them by Fair.
Would 1t not be a good idea to
have grand Reconciliation Ban
quet" at the Palace Hotel, and in
vite everybody of any note, then set
the old fighters and enemies across
the table from each other, and
amid the clash of champagne glasses
and the shouts of "Put it there, old
boy" pledge the past as a buried
proposition, and drink standing the
toasts.
"'Brothers ALL" and
"The Pacific Coast againts the
world"

THE sQUEALING sCANLAN

Scanlan the Peek-a-Boo minstrel
man is having a peck of trouble in
San Francisco. 1t appears that a
professional gambler met him at
the Baldwin and took such an APP
parent fancy to him that he sent
him beautiful floral harp which
was set up over the footlights with
great ceremony. This tickled
Seaman almost to death and he
took a run with his new friend
through the gilded palaces of sin,
after the audience was dismissed.
!. After few evenings his friend
inveighed him into dice game and
Seaman won 5000 which he at once
put in his pocket. The next night
he lost So 900 and gave the usual
/. o. U. for the same, but after
wards rePudiated it on the ground
that the dice were manipulated in a
funny manner by the professional.
This seems to be an old Nat Good
win chestnut, 1t is a common
thing for New York actors to get
into gambling sports in San Fran
cisco. When they win they pocket
the coin with the regular unanimity
but when they lose they invariably
squeal and charge unfair play.
These people ought to quit hob
nobblng with professional gamblers
or else stick by the rules of the
game. The man who would DELHI
erately write such musical nonsense

pected to take care of himself any
how.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Neil Burgess at the Grand Opera
House.

House.
Mr.. Burgess, aided by his own Sc
lect company, last night opened at
the Grand in his new comedy Yam.
1t is, OF course, AN offshot OF the
WIDOW Bedoa business, but falls far
short OF that typical American com
edy. The house was well filed and
the audience was thoroughly we'll
pleased with the quaint sayings, capi-
tai make.ups and good acting--so far
as the piece calls for acting-on the
part OF Mr.. Burgess.
The best feature in this farcical per-
formance is the circus scene, where
Mr.. Burgess and his real horse appear
on the stage. There was sefious
interruption in this part of the per-
formance last night, owing to the
breaking of some part Of the machin-
cry. The break will be repaired by
tonight, when the whole business
will be given.
Vim will hold the boards all the
week excepting on Friday evening and
the Saturday matinee, for which occa-
sions Widow Bedot is underlined.
Mr.. Burgess will do good business
all the week, as he has the knack OF
raising a hearty laugh and that is
what the masses care for most.

Deputy Constable Argucllo
Barely Saves Himself.
David Black, of Texas became in
volved in fight last night with
Thomas Ryan in front of the Schooner
saloon on Also street. Deputy Con-
stable Arguello seeing the fracas,
arrested Black and took him tOwal d
the station. AS they reached the
corner of Temple and new High
street, Black pulled out Colts A
calibre revolver and attempted to
shoot the officer. He had the pistol
pointed at Arguello's breast and
pulled the trigger just as the officer
put his hand between the
hammer and the cartridge, the sharp
end OF the hammer putting bole in
his thumb. Arguello managed to get
the revolver from him and taking him
to the County Jail booked him for
battery. Ryan was afterwards ar
rested by the Constable and the two
will have q hearing tomorrow morn
ing before Judge Austin. 1t was Il
narrow escape for Arguello, who had
he been a moment slower in erasi'ng
the revolver would have received the
bullet through his body.
